Ronald Krolczyk

Ronald Michael Krolczyk was born June 8, 1951, in Waco, Texas and departed this world on July 11, 2026. Ronald’s journey through life was marked by enduring love for family, a quiet joy in simple pleasures, and the unforgettable presence he offered to everyone lucky enough to share in his days.

Ronald was the cherished son of Louis and Katy Krolczyk, whose memory he carried warmly with him until his own final moments. He attended Axtell High School, the first stepping stone in a lifetime spent in the company of people he loved and who loved him right back.

Family was always at the very core of Ronald’s existence. He is survived by his devoted brother Dough Krolczyk and wife Carolyn Krolczyk of Hewitt, Texas, whose steadfast support was a constant in his life. His daughter, Theresa Lawson of Hubbard, Texas was not only his child but his proudest accomplishment- “being the best daddy a daughter could have” was something Ronald treasured above all else. He deeply loved his grandsons Christopher Krolczyk and Sierra Hallmark of Hubbard, Texas, Joesph Krolczyk and wife Tiffany Krolczyk of Hubbard, Texas, and Justin Lawson and wife Janice Lawson of Topeka, Kansas, His Beautiful 13 Grandkids and all of his family and friends each of whom held a special place in his hear. Each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of his family. The family also remembers with affection his late nephew Dale Krolczyk, whose loss Ronald keenly felt and Peggy Krolczyk, who “gave him the most hell’-

Ronalds’s life was filled with the simple joys that made his presence such a gift. He found joy in riding his motorcycles, savoring the freedom of the open road and the wind on his face. Long conversations with his brother on the phone were among his favorite pastimes, a testament to the enduring bond they shared. Ronald loved nothing more than casting a line while fishing, the gentle stillness of the water mirroring his own thoughtful soul. He could often be found sitting on his back porch, listening to his quail sing and sharing quiet moments with his loyal fur baby, Sissy. For his great-grandkids, Ronald was the candy man-there was never a visit where he didn’t offer a sweet treat, small but heartfelt ritual that will be deeply missed

Those left behind are bound together not just by grief but by the wealth of shared memories Ronald leaves. “We are left with so many memories of him to cherish and we appreciate every second we had with him.” Ronald’s legacy is a patchwork quilt of cherished moments: laughter around the table, stories swapped over a line in the water, and the comforting routine of simply being together.

Though Ronald has departed from our sight, His heart remains ever-present in the lives of those he loved and who loved him in return. His memory will be held close, carried forward in stories told, laughter remembered, and the steadfast love he shared so generously.

He will be profoundly missed, warmly remembered, and dearly cherished by all who know him.
